Cheese....funny haha.... :lol:
No mate, its made of plastic with what looks like a brass boss pressed into it.....
I've looked in to the blades hoping ( ha! :scratch:) that there may have been a grub screw.....
I remember my dad changing the innards on one of these when I were a nipper ( he was always burning them out), but have no recollection of how he got the fan off....I think if I asked him now he'd just shrug......

Arh I know the type , designed to break as soon as you go near them :bang: , any chance you can get a couple of wee tapped holes into the boss ? and make up a small puller , in the past I have resorted to drilling two holes through the fan close to the boss 180 apart so that I could get the puller legs to the back of the boss .
Why your repairing it mate ?
Rob
John Rudd:
Why repair? Ermmm well not so much a repair but a refurb....sentimental reasons....
(err no 'mental' jokes plz... :lol:)
Yes I think you are correct, the fan is collateral for a repair....crap design....
I spose I could cut the fan from the boss, take off the boss, make a new one and remount the fan?

John,
I'm having a bit of trouble with the logic of this.
No matter how it was assembled, surely it must be possible to disassemble it in the revers.
Dave.
hermetic:
Can you not drill a couple of holes in the fan to line up with the screws. My dad also had one of those drills, and now I am trying to remember what happened to it! Bet my brother has it!! The fan doesn.t unscrew by any chance, that is in the same direction as rotation so that rotation would keep it tight?
